Hi there! How is your week going? I got a package a few days ago and wondered what I would have coming from Kuwait? I opened it up and what did I see? A beautiful hand-crocheted doily! And a sweet card with a hand-written note from my blog friend, Tammy! She said she sent a little surprise my way to thank me for my online friendship! WOW! What a generous and thoughtful gift! Tammy is a busy and creative woman who lives in Kuwait with her husband and two sons. She has a job, is a creative and healthy cook for her family and is an amazing crafter! She is so generous that she gives much of her work as gifts to friends and to charities. Do visit her at T's Daily Treasures. I know you'll love her as much as I do! :-) Thanks, Tammy!
I love the bright shade of red.. it fits right into my home!
Kristi found a Robin's egg and brought it to me. What a beautiful turquoise color they are!
The boys have decided they want to be pirates and made little paper eye patches - I told them I'd make some better ones for them so I cut black felt and made yarn ties - we used kitchen towels for their pirate head scarves. :-) I drew some swords onto cardboard and Dayle cut them out with an exacto knife. They are saying "ARGHHH" for me! LOL!
The Robin's eggs nestled in my soft cotton "nest".
I am almost done with my latest crochet project - a neat ripple pillow cover. I have a plan to keep making crochet covered pillows until I have them all over the house! :-)
The other evening I spotted the moon rising right above the trees up on the hill pasture behind our house.. I actually snapped this photo from my easy chair inside the house and through the window! Tammy and I share a habit of posting moon photos.. this one is for you, Tammy!! :-)
Soon I will head off to swim with Gracie. We're in a heat wave here in Oregon.. I'm glad we got a new AC unit - we have one in the main part of the house and one in our master bedroom. We'll stay cool during this hot time. I hope you're enjoying the summer and keeping cool.. for those in the other hemisphere.. I hope you're warm enough! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Your photos are always so pretty. Love the one of your grandsons playing pirates. That was so kind of Tammy to send the gift; very thoughtful. I hope you have a terrific weekend Teresa. Heather
ReplyDeleteHI there Teresa, The boys are so much fun to see all dressed up like pirates. Such fun to have them around I bet. Tammy is so sweet, i will have to visit her and see her world. I hope you stay cool, but enjoy the summer. Have a great swim, xoRobin
ReplyDeleteFantastic pirates! And a really lovely moon photo. I would have taken one tonight if I'd had time, it was looking beautiful. The robin's egg blue is gorgeous, and I love their smooth surface against the texture of the crochet. I hope you and Dayle have a really good weekend. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteTammy is so very kind, I love the doily, it is perfect for you. Glad you are staying cool, it is hot as blazes here but I guess we are used to it. The boys have wonderful imaginations, pirates are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Teresa,
Meredith
A lovely gift from Tammy Teresa. Those eggs are so pretty. The boys look very cute as pirates. Hope you enjoyed your swim with Gracie. We've been enjoying some very pleasant weather. Hugs Anne x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo of the moon -- just perfect. What a nice surprise to receive the doily, such a cheerful color. Seeing your pirates reminds me of when my kids were little. We once created a batmobile with a ride-on fire truck, cardboard and paint. Fun times.
ReplyDeleteI saw a broken Robins egg on my walk the other day and thought…second broods are hatching! I think this moon is making too many babies come. I had a heck of a night in newborn nursery the other day. THey were coming faster than I could keep up !
ReplyDeleteHow nice of your friend to send that doily! Love the color! Curious about the Robin's eggs. Did the mother bird abandon the nest? They sure are pretty!! Your previous post contained so many gorgeous photos, I have to just say...stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteXO Kris
Those boys look like they are having a great time!
ReplyDeleteWas the robins egg abandoned? I'd hate to think it wasn't. Mama bird will be so confused & certainly upset.
ReplyDeleteTammy sent you a lovely gift, Teresa. Isn't is interesting to find common ground and build friendships with folks from around the world?
ReplyDeleteYou and Dayle are gifting your precious pirate grandsons with many good memories :)
And as always you have shared beautiful views with us. Thanks! xx
Beautiful doily--love the red and design! Speaking of red--did you see the skies around sunset and twilight tonight? Beautiful! It seemed our area was glowing in red!
ReplyDeleteI am craving frozen fruit juice bars, snow cones, iced anything right now---way too hot and humid for comfort :(
Blessings,
Aimee
Hi Teresa what fun your dear grandsons have on your fun, what a wonderful place for them to grow up in they are such lucky boys. What a sweet gift and a beatiful shade of red,enjoy your summer heat x
ReplyDeleteAwww those two boys of your sure are little cuties. They make very scary pirates (you can tell them that from me) ... Gosh that doily is RED !!! Lovely generous gift from your friend. I love the idea of your crochet cushions all over the house - they'll look so homely - although your home already looks beautiful and welcoming ! By the way, its freezing down here and I think I might have to go and get into my bed with Madison (our cat) who is like a hot water bottle that never goes cold. xox
ReplyDeleteI love the pirate costumes! How cute. You really know how to have fun with little kids. I hope you had a nice time with Gracie. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having a great summer, and I love the thoughtful gift Tammy sent to you.

What a fun post! Love the moon pic. Wishing you all a most happy summer sweet friend. :)
ReplyDeleteHeat wave eh Teresa, here I am sitting next to the heater and still cold lol And yes I love a good moon shot as you know xo
ReplyDeleteNice moon shot! Glad you got your card. I am in the states so have not been blogging. No laptop with me. Using Instagram from my phone as that is much easier. Hugs, tammy
